How to Style A Blazer

Stripes styled with tailoring is a classic combination. And I think it’s safe to say, the blazer is definitely the most coveted piece amongst fashion it girls right now. Today, I opted for a Viktoria Woods strapless dress and tweed jacket to add texture. 

Here are some of my favourite blazer looks which give off the same vibe, but dependent on your mood and the day you have planned ahead:

The striped blouse and blazer

This is a great option for office to dinner drinks. Add a straight leg or kick flare jean and kitten heels to add a touch of cool to your evening. 

The slogan tee and blazer

If you follow my Instagram, you may have noticed my love for any kind of tee with writing on. As a lover of tailoring, it only seems right to style casual with smart to give off instant Euro girl status. This combination looks awesome with a striped or checked blazer.

90’s slip and blazer

Because lets be honest, you can’t avoid all the 90’s throwbacks right now, and those linen slip dresses are giving us girls in Australia major European summer FOMO. Unfortunately, it’s not quite warm enough to brave one without that added layer. That’s where the blazer comes in. Stick to sneakers or a small heel when styling.

When walking around NYC hours on end, sneakers seem the only sensible option. It’s been a while since styling a pair for my posts, but they are probably my most worn shoe of choice in winter. Purely down to the fact I am up so early to commute to work, and it’s currently 7-10 degrees before 7am so all I want to be is comfortable! Thankfully, when shooting this post in Soho, New York was much warmer. 

It’s been amazing sharing all my New York content with you and receiving such a great response to my self portrait posts. It was a little personal challenge I set myself before going, and a way for me to step outside my comfort zone and regain some of my lost confidence. Thank you for always reading, and I hope you feel inspired to go out and push your boundaries however that may be, or on another note - invest in a blazer! Whatever makes you happy!

Elegant Accessorising

Less is more right? If you’re like me, you’re a sucker for minimal jewellery. It’s safe to say 80% of my wardrobe is monochrome, so gold is my weakness to warm up any outfit. I can’t remember the last time I wore silver, and have been on the hunt for a dainty gold watch for some time which is perfect for everyday wear. I came across Henry London Timepieces and naturally fell in love with their vintage feel and elegance. Plus, it seems appropriate to revisit my roots and introduce a special British piece into my day to day life. Sometimes I forget how far away I am from the UK; the distance from close friends and family. Keeping my roots close makes me feel content.

I believe your accessories are an extension of you, and it’s the perfect way to individualise your style. Two people could very well wear the same outfit, but it’s how they style and the finishing touches that make it their own.
